"This will not be Russia's alone,"

Klebanov didn't say what countries Russia would invite to take part.

Gee--- I wonder who that may be?

US, of course. In any case, Russia should go the next step. An LEO
station is boring. They've done that. They should go to the Moon.
Imagine the Russians with a permanent Moonbase and the US with a
permanent LEO station. It's the reverse of 30 years ago and it should be
embarrassing to the Americans.

Well, yeah that would be embarrassing to the Americans. Of course, the
odds of that happening are close to one in a billion.

Contrast to odds of Mir-2.
